You first need to mount the partition that has your root ( / ) directory on it: Code: Repair file system1# mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/

If I were you, I would try to fix the problem first. There are alternate superblocks written to defined locations to serve as backup to the primary superblock. This damage can prevent them from booting automatically. Note that the root * file system is currently mounted read-only.

I added the shutdown and fsck hooks to mkinitcpio.conf as suggested in the wiki, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference -- I get the same error every time I then used gedit to remove the bad line from /etc/fstab and now everything is working.Thank you so much, Trevor, your help is much appreciated.
